About the Weather Signals.

Whether the weather service is q
signal success or signal failure is
a deoatable question. Our friend OF
the Dardanelle Post expresses his
views concerning the matter IN the
following vigorous manner:
at is not expected that the wealth.
er will adapt itself to the flags as
soon as they are run up, and it is not
expected that the flags VIII always
prove exactly correct in their Indi-
cations. But it is by no means guess
work. Weather reports-the TEN
perature, the showing of the baron
eter, the condition of the weather,
the changes within the past "a hours,
the direction of the wind, etc. are
kept at every signal station in the
United States, and every day trans
mitted by telegraph to the Central
office at Washington. Upon these
reports the Signal officer at Wash
ington forecasts the weather for the
country and every day sends out
these predictions. These forecasts
are not designed for single county
hardly for Il single state, but SIMPLY
indicate the probabilities for whole
section. For instance, If it turns as
cold as blitzen at Oshkosh at day
light and at st. Louis by noon and
the cold snap strikes Springfield
Missouri, about nightfall and these
conditions are duly reported tt
Washington, the Signal officer car
safely tell Arkansas people to lool
out. But Notwithstanding tins, /;
stiff breeze from the gulf may NEE
the wave in the Boston Mountains
and frazzle it out, in which event w
would say the signal service was I
liar, but the illustration illustrate
how tie business is done and hov
reasonable and how simple it is
And a hundred times out Of 80 or a
least many times, the forecasts ar
cerect, though nothing is absolutel,
certain. The weather is continual,
changing, but not enough to justif.
definite predictions when moderat
weather prevails. The signals a
displayed arc presumed to show th
probabilities for to morrow or mex
day, but never to day unless th
same flag has been dying for NOR
than one day. This service is YER
valuable one and though not at pres
ent fully appreciated will eventual
] be regarded as indispensable.

North Carolina is much excited
over the perfecting of a cotton har-
vester which is expected to effect a
revolution in all tue plantations ol
the south. 1t is reported as the re-
suit of elaborate tests that II will
pick at least 80 per cent of the open
cotton, and $500 pounds is fair
average days work for one machine
drawn by two horses and manned by
two hands. The general use of the
harvester, if it proves the success
that is predicted for it, will help the
cotton planters immensely and re-
duce their wages accounts to an ex-
tent the most sanguine never dreamt
of. But it will not aid in the solu-
tion of the ever prominent labor
question, or bring JOY to the hearts
of those who have got to look for
ward to the cotton season as the only
part Of the year when work is plen-
tiful and wages good.

Swallowed His Bond.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. PA
resident of Chicago has filed a claim
at the treasury department for the
redemption of 81 900 United States
bond which, he says, he swallowed
in order TO prevent its falling into
the hands of burglars. 1t appears
that while he was examining the
bond in his room at late hour In
the night he heard a noise in the
passage, which he supposed was
made by thieves, and acting on the
impulse Of the moment, he chewed
the bond into pulp and swallowed
it. 1t was afterwards discovered
that there were no grounds for his
alarm. He now appeals to the gov
ernment to make good his loss. The
first comptroller has the claim under
consideration.

New Orleans, Matches and Fort
Scott.

Not withstanding the vigorous as
servations of Gen. Rice, President o.
the New Orleans, Matches and Fort
! Scott, to the effect that Jay Gould is
not the real promoter OF that enter
prise, Capt. D. Z. Stacy, Civil En-
gineer of that company, who has
been at Franklin, La, making map
of the parish, has completed his la
bors and taken his departure for
Matches. where, next weea, he will
meet and report to Gen. Rice and
Col. l.. l.. Bush, preparatory to a
vigorous spring campaign Of con.
struction on the great North and
South project of which the Kansas,
Nebraska and Dakota, better known
as Bush's line, is the nucleus, and
the New Orleans. Matches and Fort
Scott, in which Col. Bush is also one
of the principal movers, and which
will form the southern connecting
link between Fort Scott ana New
Orleans. Prior to his departure for
Matches, where he will meet Gen.
Rice and Engineer Stacy, Col. Bush
came to st. Louis and held con
ference with S. II. II. Clark, First
Vice President and General Mana
ger OF the Missouri Pacific system.
1t is only necessary to put these
facts together
AS to the enterprise itself, it is un
questionably bona-fide and in capa
Bile hands. The New Orleans, Match
es and Fort Scott has at present
over 900 men at work on the grad
ing in Washington County, Mo-, and
in the neighborhood of 100 miles of
grade is actually ready for the rails.
With the l3l miles Of the Kansas,
Nebraska and Dakota in operation,
and the progress of the work on the
New Orleans, Matches and Fort
Scott, the showing of the great north
and south trunk line project is de
cidedly creditable, and another evl
dence of the activity of Mr.. Could

Final Results of Prohibition.

The grand and glorious outcome

CRUELTY 10 ANIMALS.
An Ohio Farmers Earnest Protest Against
the Abuse of livestock.

This subject is one of much impor-
lance. Cruelty to animals is something
many people indulge in in many ways.
This consider one among many great
sins of which man is guilty. To be
cruel and unkind to dumb beings is not
only a sin, but is very unmanly, and
shows lack of good Judgment and
good common sense. Such people for
get that those animals belong to God,
and not to us, but that He has entrusted
them to our care for short time only,
and will one day require us to render
an account of our stewardship. We
should be kind to both man and beast,
and not exercise our privilege so much
as do some people. We should have at
least some feeling for the lowest and
most degraded creature that treads the
earth.
Some people misuse their horses,
which are of great service to man; in
fact, it would be impossible for man, at
this late day, to carry on his farm
work without the horse. Cattle, too,
are another kind of stock which receives
more or less cruel treatment at times.
Mich cows are often beaten and
kicked about, while being pailed. This

necessary to pound a single COW, and
have handled great many cows.
Men could be severely punished for
so doing. l once knew of "a certain
man (not a thousand miles Off, who
purchased, of an old acquaintance of
mine, very fine specimen of the Short
horn for the improvement of his herd.
This animal was three years old, and
weighed, the day he received him,
1920 pounds. This man was an mex
perienced hand in handling that kind
of stock, and supposed that much less
feed was required to keep him
than other stock, and, therefore,
to avoid all expenses of keep, aud that
clear profit might be obtained
thus, he thought it necessary to put
him through fasting process, which,
in my estimation, he accomplished
pretty thoroughly. Curiosity one day
caused me to call on this man to see his
bull, and upon entering the stall /
found to my establishment that the bull
was as poor as Jobs turkey" and
without hay, and had not so much as a
straw bed, but had to lie down in the
manure, several inches deep. In the
following spring he had the range of a
grass lot from which to make his living.
This lot was by the roadside, and the
animal had shed all the hair from the
shoulders and back, from being so COM
pletely scalded during the previous
winter, and being so very thin, it gave
him the appearance of huge buffalo.
He did duty all that summer Us II scare
